So, I took Mabel to the groomer's yesterday. Ever since we got her (as a stray from the HS), she was SO SO SO matted. I took her to the self-serve dog wash, and the groomer their shaved the major stuff off of her rump.
Well, I figured I'd just shave her all the way down, because she was super matted, and I couldn't get them all out with the rake. I figured I'd just start over before her winter coat started coming in.
Anyway, so the groomer yesterday is clipping her neck, and she says, "Have you had this dog to the vet?"
"Umm...yes. Why?"
"Her lymph nodes are HUGE. Come feel"
I go feel. They are indeed huge. I'm freaking. I run out to the car and make an appointment for this Saturday. (soonest they can get her in)
She also has a lump on her back...vaccina tion site. Grr..
Anyway, so I'm googling "enlarged lymph nodes in dogs". I'm finding a ton of stuff about CANCER. Please tell me my old girl that I've only had the opportunity to love for 2 months doesn't have CANCER?!
